What Is OEM transport Car Shipping?
OEM vehicle transport — also known as finished vehicle logistics (FVL) — is the factory-to-dealership delivery of new vehicles from assembly plants, ports of entry (Baltimore, Brunswick, Port Hueneme), and regional distribution centres (RDCs) to dealer networks. CarShippers.ai operates in the supplemental carrier capacity segment: providing additional capacity when primary OEM transport contracts (Jack Cooper, Proficient, United Road) need support during peak delivery cycles, plant-launch ramp, port-of-entry surges, and RDC-to-dealer last-mile distribution. Every load runs to a zero-scratch / rail-gate condition standard with per-VIN condition documentation, delivery-window compliance, and API dispatch directly from your finished-vehicle logistics platform.
Factory · port · RDC → dealer. Zero-scratch standard. API dispatch. CarShippers.ai matches FMCSA-licensed carriers with transparent, expert-verified pricing.
Why Choose CarShippers.ai for OEM transport?
Supplemental carrier capacity when you need it
Primary OEM transport contracts cover the baseline. We provide additional carrier capacity when you need it: peak delivery cycles, plant-launch ramp, port-of-entry surges, RDC-to-dealer last-mile distribution. Onboarded as a contracted supplemental carrier — not a retail broker.
Zero-scratch / rail-gate condition standard
Every load runs to the OEM condition standard used at rail gate exit: soft-strap loading, no chains on the frame, full per-VIN condition documentation at pickup and delivery. Designed for vehicles that have not yet had a customer interaction.
Plant, port, and RDC pickup logistics
Direct pickup at assembly plants, port-of-entry yards (Baltimore, Brunswick, Port Hueneme, and others), and regional distribution centres. Yard-access protocols, gate appointments, and EDI/manifest handling per OEM specification. Open and enclosed equipment available.
Delivery-window compliance and per-VIN reporting
OEM and dealer-group programmes require delivery-window compliance with measured KPIs. Every dispatch is window-tagged; on-time delivery rate is reported back per corridor and per VIN. API dispatch from your FVL platform; CSV upload for non-API customers. Consolidated delivery report with VIN-level detail.
How OEM transport Car Shipping Works
Submit the dispatch via API, EDI, or CSV
VIN list, origin (plant / port / RDC), destination dealer, delivery window per VIN. API spec available for direct integration with FVL platforms; CSV upload supported for ad-hoc supplemental runs.
Carrier capacity confirmed against your window
Capacity is confirmed against your delivery-window requirement before dispatch. For peak-cycle and plant-launch runs, multiple carrier partners are coordinated under a single capacity commitment. Yard appointments and gate access scheduled per OEM protocol.
Dispatch with zero-scratch standard and per-VIN reporting
Pickup at plant, port, or RDC under OEM condition protocol. Soft-strap loading. Per-VIN condition report at pickup and delivery. Live status returned to your FVL platform via API. Consolidated delivery report issued per dispatch with VIN-level detail and on-time rate.
Negotiated supplemental-capacity rates per corridor and per OEM programme. Open and enclosed available at plant, port, and RDC origins.
OEM transport is contracted, not retail-quoted. Pricing is negotiated against forecasted volume, corridor mix, equipment type (open / enclosed), and on-time KPI commitment. Contact our OEM enterprise team for a programme proposal.
- Equipment type — open vs enclosed (premium / launch-edition models)
- Origin type — plant, port, RDC, or rail gate (yard-access protocol differs)
- Delivery-window tightness — same-day window prices higher than 3-day window
- Corridor balance and forecasted volume against the annual programme
- On-time KPI commitment level — standard vs premium SLA
Prices are typically highest during peak seasonal demand on popular corridors.
OEM transport vs dealership delivery — which one is this?
OEM transport is the factory-to-dealership leg: new vehicles moving from assembly plant, port, or RDC to a dealer rooftop, before any customer has seen the vehicle. Dealership delivery is the dealer-to-consumer last-mile: a sold vehicle moving from the dealer to the buyer's address.
